At night, the Kuwaiti defenders' counterattack still did not stop. On the northern front, the 21st Division of the British and Indian Army had begun fighting with the counterattack troops of the 26th Army. Since the 21st Division kept retreating from the beginning,

Therefore, they did not organize an attack immediately. This gave John Connor and the others time. The 26th Army seized the hard-won time to reinforce the originally simple defensive positions and laid the groundwork that they had not had time to set up just now.

Barbed wire and trenches.

Defense is not the purpose of this counterattack. The purpose of the entire Eighth Army is still to attack, but the counterattack is not smooth sailing. Similarly, the purpose of the British and Indian Army is not to retreat, but to gain the initiative on the battlefield is also what the enemy pursues.

The current situation is still grim. The opponent that John Connor's counterattack force now faces has changed from the 17th Division of the British and Indian Army that originally faced Kuwait to the 21st and 17th Divisions. This is also the 17th Division of the British and Indian Army.

The reserves are at the rear, and the 26th Army currently counterattacking in Kuwait will be surrounded and the entire army will be annihilated if one mistake is made.

Fortunately, due to the lack of artillery fire support, the British and Indian Army formed a fighting formation about 500 meters away. The leader this time was the 79th Regiment of the Indian 21st Division, which had been leading the charge.

As soon as they received the news, they were in a hurry to respond. To a certain extent, the 29th Army was very lucky.

The 21st Division of the British Indian Army, Acres, was slowly coming from the rear. After learning that the 79th Regiment was preparing to attack, he personally sent a telegram to the 79th Regiment under his jurisdiction, "Once the battle begins,

You must attack with the maximum attack power and do not give the enemy any chance to breathe. Reinforcements from behind will arrive soon and will take over your troops. At that time, they will join the 17th Division to encircle the enemy."

In the evening, Andre Thomas, the divisional advisor of the 26th Army of the Ottoman Eighth Army, led his troops to launch a powerful attack. The 17th Division of the Republican Army of the Anglo-Indian Army, which had been well prepared, was morale-boosted because it knew that reinforcements had arrived.

Da Zheng finally withstood the attack with huge casualties. However, this attack drained the last vitality of the 17th Division. When the attacking troops slowly retreated, all the soldiers were exhausted on the position.

Looking at the desolate battlefield and the corpses of his subordinates, Andre Thomas felt very distressed. He connected to John Connor's headquarters and blamed himself, "I'm sorry, I failed to take down the British and Indian Army's defense line."

”.

John Connor replied by telegram: "Andre, I can't blame you. This failure is mainly due to my mistakes. Now, please withdraw."

As soon as John Connor gave his reply, his staff hurriedly came in from outside, "The 27th Army has been engaged in firefights with the 21st Division of the British and Indian Army on the southwest front line."

"What's going on now?" John Connor asked.

The staff officer said worriedly, "The current situation is not bad. With strong support, there are no problems with the defense line in the face of the enemy's counterattack. However, according to the report of the investigators, the 21st Division Commander Alex and

All officers and soldiers have arrived at the designated location. The defense line of the third battalion is under great pressure. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for long. After all, they are facing a division of troops."

"Hiss..." John Connor didn't expect that the situation had deteriorated to this point. He immediately walked quickly to the map. Looking at the map, John Connor was shocked to find that the closest distance between the 17th Division and the 21st Division was less than 100 meters.

Seven kilometers, which means that in a sense, the counterattack troops have been flanked on a battlefield with a depth of only seven kilometers. Listening to the rumble of artillery in the distance, John Connor said, "The British and Indian Army attacked Kuwait."

The number of troops is more than 200,000. It is normal to have two troops with high combat effectiveness, but from the overall composition, there will not be too many such troops. I believe that temporary setbacks are not normal, and we set off from Basra.

The 29th Army, as well as the landing troops drawn from the various armies embarked at the port, have already set off, so that the attacking troops will not be confused by the opponent's brief counterattack, and the damaged troops on the front line will temporarily retreat."

"Okay!", the staff officer immediately started to send electricity to the attacking troops.

When Andre Thomas received the order, the first thing he thought about was not retreat, but shelling. The soldiers of the British and Indian Legion had just repelled the attack of the 26th Army. Before they even took a nap, they heard the terrifying artillery fire from the opposite position again.

rang. I couldn't help shouting: "Are these bastards made of iron, don't they know they are tired?"

Just when they got out of the trench curiously to see what happened, the cannon roared in and had close contact with these curious guests, booming...

The rumbling sound continued, and the artillery shells were shot out as if they were free. The artillery shells selflessly blocked every inch of the land like raindrops. Huge craters appeared on the battlefield, and every artillery shell would take away many lives.

Looking at this majestic scenery, Andre Thomas finally suppressed the idea of ​​attacking again, and said to his company commanders: "You must act like a show, brothers, who is going to feint attack once?"

As the battle that John Connor valued so much was fought like this, Andre Thomas felt unspeakably bitter in his heart. Thinking of getting off the tank and looking at the scenery in the oasis, he said: "It's really a rare hilly area in the Middle East.

Ah, hills?" Thinking of this, Andre Thomas couldn't help but fall into deep thought, "What would happen if I laid an encirclement to ambush the British and Indian Army during the retreat?"

"What do you think of Andre's idea?" John Connor, who received the telegram, said to Brown, "These people who graduated from domestic military academies still have great ideas."

"It looks good, we should give firm support." Brown agreed immediately, "The British and Indian Army on the opposite side will not think of it now."

After Brown heard John Connor's idea, he was very interested. After reading it, he felt that there was no problem, so he agreed with John Connor's idea.

Then John Connor secretly divided the 26th Army into two parts and deployed them on the left and right sides respectively, forming an anti-eight figure defense line with a forward position of eight kilometers, but getting tighter as it went inward. Only when the time came to shrink the pocket,

It can completely wipe out the enemy troops. Hundreds of Maxim machine guns have become part of the dense firepower network of this anti-eight-character defense line.

Finally, John Connor and Brown ordered the troops that had blocked the counterattack of the 21st Division of the British Indian Army to retreat, leading Alex's 21st Division and Bolton's 17th Division into the encirclement. The third battalion had already joined the Republican forces.

The 21st Division of the Army fought repeatedly for a day, and the position was already filled with smoke. After defeating the Republican Army's seven attempts to enter the palace, John Connor's order to retreat came.

The 26th Army immediately organized a countercharge. After stopping the 21st Division's fierce attack, it immediately retreated to the oasis. Alex immediately reacted and grabbed the retreating 26th Army.

Only now did Bolton know that there were no enemies on the opposite side of the battlefield. He was so angry that he ordered to join forces with the 21st Division to pursue this enemy group.

Bolton and Alex vowed to give John Connor a taste of his power. At the same time, Andre Thomas was also watching their movements like a wolf in the oasis. Both sides were dissatisfied with the results of these two days and were already

Get ready to bet and have a fight.

At six o'clock in the evening, Alex and Bolton led five regiments of more than 8,000 people and rushed into the prepared anti-eight defense line. After getting two hours of rest, the 26th Army immediately began to block the attack layer by layer. The British and Indian Army

As the army advanced further, the losses became more severe. Machine gun bullets were like a storm, leaving people with nowhere to hide.

The men of the British and Indian Legion now had to fight in the dark night and the layers of firepower deployed by the 26th Army. Seeing that the battle could not be ended as soon as possible, Alex ordered three regiments to invest outside the oasis.

Fight and move forward again.

Soon the defense lines of the 26th Army were broken through one after another, and the withdrawn troops gathered towards the anti-eight defense lines on both wings. The battle had been going on for four hours. Just when Alex thought he had a chance to win, the 26th Army

Advisor Andre Trust ordered the assault group to rush out from the outer wings and surround Alex and Bolton's troops in the oasis.

It was only then that they woke up from a dream and realized that the enemy was just as unwilling as they were and was plotting against them. Alex and Bolton tried their best to stop the troops and wanted to fight back, but the chaotic troops trampled on each other and had lost any possibility.

A chance to turn defeat into victory.

After defeating the division composed of the British, John Connor believed that the battle would be much smoother. These colonial armies were like this. It was not impossible to fight, but without the intimidation and guidance of the mother country, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

At midnight, seventy kilometers south of the battle between the Eighth Army and the British-Indian Army, there was a violent, harsh friction sound on the coastline, which was annoying to hear.

Sheffield always joked that if the British wanted to defeat the Germans, they should find a way to drive the battleships to land. Today, an armed force finally did this. Countless soldiers were landing on the stranded freighter, and the use was enough to make anyone

The rich man carried out a successful amphibious landing operation by dripping blood from his eggs.

If the British were brave enough, how could the landing battle in the Dardanelles end in a tailspin? At the same time, the 29th Army of the Eighth Group Army, which was conducting a motorized march, walked out a clear marching route in the desert.

This can be seen from the motorcycles and trucks that are constantly being abandoned along the way.

Sheffield said he didn't care how much personal possessions he lost, and that's what he said. But the problem is that the heads of several black gold companies really dare to do this.

"If we lose all the ships and vehicles but cannot win victory, will the boss hang us on a tree like he did to niggas?" John Connor suddenly said to Brown in hindsight.
